Abstract
THERE have been and are all sorts of statements T about the relation of diet to the occurrence of cancer. We are told that eating raw carrots will prevent and even cure it; others attribute efficacy to onions, others to a salt-free diet; tomatoes, on the other hand, have been suspected of causing cancer. Particularly common is the suggestion, which appears at times to have crystallised into a belief, that vegetarians suffer from malignant disease less than ordinary people who take a fleshy diet.
